EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the enchanting Friday Market location in the heart of Ghent, Belgium, as depicted in this 19th-century vintage photograph. The scene unfolds before us with a breathtaking panorama of the city's architectural grandeur, showcasing a myriad of historic buildings and landmarks that have stood the test of time. At the center of the image, the towering spires of the St. Nicholas' Church and the Belfry tower reach for the heavens, their Gothic silhouettes piercing the winter sky. Adorned with snow, the structures exude an ethereal beauty that speaks to the passage of time and the enduring allure of this historic city. The Friday Market, a bustling hub of commerce and culture during the 1870s, 1880s, and 1890s, is now a tranquil setting where the shadows of the past mingle with the present. The buildings that line the market square, with their intricate facades and ornate details, bear witness to the rich history of this fascinating town. Among the structures that grace the scene are the elegant houses, once the residences of the city's prosperous inhabitants, and the imposing city palace, a testament to the power and wealth of Ghent's rulers. The University, a beacon of knowledge and intellectual pursuits, adds to the city's reputation as a cultural melting pot. As the river Leie meanders through the scene, it reflects the vibrant colors and textures of the buildings and the sky above, creating a stunning tableau that transports us to a bygone era. This photograph is a treasure trove of history, inviting us to explore the architectural, religious, and cultural heritage of Ghent, a city that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
